If I take it easy, I can manage to get up to 27city/32hwy, but having a GTI doesn't really help LOL, I can barely take it easy on this car. It also depends on the type of roads you are driving on, and the slopes of the roads. Going to work i get 28-29 MPG hwy, and coming back I manage to do 32, sometimes 33 MPG hwy, and is the exact same trip, but going to work is more of a climbing slope than coming back.
